Blue Moon Playlist Review Club - Season 2 - Episode 27 - Out on blue 6 - Gone Too Soon (pg 438)

And so it shall be.

Body Count - Bum Rush

We all know of the Rap legend that is Ice T. But what is a lesser known fact is that in the 90s, (like a whole decade before the mainstream rap-metal fusion trend) he was in a heavy metal band, that he is rarely associated with. So here is that.

In the words, nearly, of Elaine and Barbara, I know it so well. Used to employ a lad who was the drummer in a metal band who dj'd a bit too. We had a fair bit of Body Count in the office playlists, unsurprisingly including this.
 
Late start today due to work obligations.

Been debating what to select all day today, and didn't want to offer up another band lead singer going solo artist.

After a tight 1-0 City win with its missed opportunities for more goals (and yes, I triple captained the Big Guy), I'm in the mood for something upbeat to celebrate what did happen and the needed win with the "Big Man"!

Bruce's right hand E Street Band man on the sax, Clarence Clemons hit it big as a solo artist with a little help from his buddy from LA:

You're A Friend of Mine - Clarence Clemons, Jackson Browne
I’ll raise you Bruce’s other main man,
Miami Steve Van Zandt ,Little Steven and The Disciples of Soul ‘Lyin in a Bed of Fire’
 
On a scale of dour to dirgeish, how depressing should I make the next one. Have a choice of 4 by the same artist, all shades of down.

Could the dirgish one(s) be construed as 'stately' ? If so i'd go that end of the spectrum! Funerial beats miserable in my book!

I'll stick with middle of the line, for the benefit of the many. See below if you want to push that line yourself though.

Justin Currie - something in that mess.

Del Amitri's love stricken ballads were seemingly too upbeat, so the frontman did his own thing. With the same knack for lyrics, but less stylistic restraint.

If intersted in more, was initially going to go with 'the fight to be human' which takes a bit of time to appreciate, or even 'you'll always walk alone' as a nod to our title rivals. Saving 'No, Surrender' for when we inevitably do a theme of songs with political undertones, and 'this is my kingdom' is a great song too. This one is probably the most accessible though, and has some positivity in there.
 
Moving from mellow to melancholy I'm going for two for the price of one today.

Sandy Denny - It'll Take A Long Time

Beautifully accompanied by fellow Fairport alumni Richard Thompson.

One solo career a short but bright burning star and the other a decades long journey to national treasure.
